American girl and Polish guy. How do we get married? [9]
OK. Let me explain some things.
1.If you guys want to get married in Poland and if you don't have Polish citizenship, you have to get an Ok from the court to do so. This might take about a month. After that you can get married, but then you will apply for an imigrant visa for him which will take anywhere from 4-6 months after which he can come to the US and get a job because that's the same as a green card.
2. You can apply for a fiance visa, which can take anywhere from 4-9 months, after which once he enters into the US you have 90 days to get married and then he will get a green card to work, very quickly.
3. You can try to sponsor him to get a tourist visa, which is usually denied, unless you're a student or an older person promising that you will return back to Poland. If you get lucky, and are approved, you will know right away, then once he's in America, you guys get married and then wait for the green card, usually about a year. It costs 300 zł. each time you go to the US Embassy for a visa.
4. He can take a trip to Mexico, you meet him there and cross the border together, but make sure he's not dressed like a European. The Mexican patrols like to look at shoes, which is a dead give-away. This is a little risky. Scratch this idea out. Never mind. And don't ask me how I know this.
5. He can enter the US on a business visa, if his job has relations in the US and is required to represent the company. But probably not likely.
6. Last way is to have a company in the US agree to hire him, send all their tax information to the Embassy, and enter on a work visa. But this also will take 4-9 months.
So in my opinion, the best way is the fiance visa. You must have pictures of you guys together to prove that you love each other and intend to marry, because that way he gets a green card right away and everything is legal. There are lawyers out there who will do this for you, they say they can do it in 4 months, but they take a lot of money.
